- I want to be represented in government. If that means I have to tolerate others being represented in government, OH FUCKING WELL.
  Anyone who tells me I don't deserve representation because then nazis might be represented can fuck a brick.
  
  It’s better if they’re out in the open for all to see. Democracy requires transparency.
- They only have 18% of the support. They’re not going to form government. If the people want to go a certain way they will regardless of the electoral system we have.
  First-past-the-post didn’t stop Mugabe and Trump.
  
  Exactly. If enough of your voters want it, it will eventually happen in any democratic system. The only difference is tactics and thresholds.
  If 33% of your population wants Fascism, it's 33% of your population that's the problem, not the particulars of your voting system.
